  • 2013-01-17

VILNIUS - If law enforcement was strengthened crime and black economy would decrease, therefore the ruling coalition should start implementing reforms with law enforcement, says representatives of National Association of Officers' Trade Unions (NPPSS). Otherwise, officers promise to start protests at the beginning of Lithuanian Presidency of the European Union.

NPPSS says that they are planning meetings with politicians during which they will present their propositions how to resolve issues in law enforcement. They will submit reform-related draft projects.

According to NPPSS, certain statements on law enforcement that politicians made, led officers to such initiative. Officers feel lack of specific propositions and a vision of final results.
